Simple answers to simple questions.

This has been another edition of "Simple answers to simple questions."

OH, THE IRONY. It's hard to believe that someone as imbecilic as Dr. Roy actually got through medical school but, if he summons up all that intellectual horsepower of his, he might want to consider that the election of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney was almost certainly unconstitutional:

Since Cheney lived in Texas at the time, choosing him led Bush into a situation that, if the words of our Founding Fathers still have any meaning, is unconstitutional. The Constitution forbids a state's electors from voting for candidates for president and vice president who are both "an inhabitant of the same state as themselves." Yet by voting for Bush and Cheney, electors in Texas did precisely that. Cheney lived in Texas, had a Texas driver's license and filed his federal income tax using a Texas address. He had also voted in Texas, not in Wyoming, a state where he had not lived full-time for decades.

Not to worry, though -- that's what timely change of address forms are for, right?

In case it does not make it past the "moderator," this is the comment I left at Dr. Roy's site:

Your conclusion that Hillary Clinton is prohibited from being elected president of the United States because she was a "femme covert" while her husband served is absolutely amazing and is offensive to Americans.

The amendment begins with the phrase "[n]o person]" and the word "person" is not mere surplusage.
